It's quite sad tbh that they've gone back to VTE. I remember for years on Channel 4, we would moan and moan non stop about how we wanted a Vote to Save because all the entertaining housemates kept leaving.
Channel 5 finally gave us it. And then people moaned because they wanted a Vote to Evict again, and then BB15 happened...
There were some great individual housemates in BB15 but it really was ruined by constant twists which led to entertaining housemates being put up when they normally wouldn't have been, and of course in a VTE they are more likely to go than an irrelevant boring person.
Channel 5 have given us some great Celeb series with VTS, and BB13 was pretty good too.
What do you think? Should we go back to Vote to Save?
Or how about this? An evict AND a save line for each contestant. Evict votes cancel out save ones, and the person with the fewest save votes left(or highest minus total in some cases no doubt) leaves. This way you can try to save your fave if they are up, but you can also chose to evict someone you really dislike.

So I think that Ch5 should have just stuck to their original format of vote to save. They made their own mark on the series, yet they've now switched it back and now look like they don't have a clue what they are doing. Like they do with everything else.
This. Personally I think I prefer vote to evict in the regular series.
Ashleigh survived VTE.
Winston went in a VTE.
We had unpredictable evictions - Toya/Ash, Matthew/Ah
VTE worked brilliantly in BB14 and BB15 - where characters like Dexter and Gina were surviving.
I didn't know they were going back to vote to evict..
I think they'd switch CBB back to evict if they weren't afraid of losing the 'big time' celebs they've already paid alot of money for.
Much simpler and that will negate much for the current unfairness. And I so think that a viewer should only have ONE vote each eviction. - or the same reason.
I very much doubt Katie Hopkins would have lasted to the final two had it been VTE.
True.
I like vote to save better myself, it keeps the more interesting housemates in longer.
- It feels more like BB to me when it's a VTE.
- It didn't ruin the more classic, more highly regarded series.
- It gives people a chance to vote out the show ruiners.
- It gives the quieter HMs a chance to come to the forefront.
- I don't want to see nasty, two-faced people stay in the house. If it's a VTS, that means that it's more likely that someone like Conor stays, which is what happened in BB13. If that series had been a VTE, then I'm convinced that he would have gone. For me, that alone is a good enough reason of why VTE is better.
Vote to save however doesn't work if it's just 2 up. BB needs to do like they do in Australian BB, putting up a minimum of 3 HMs in a VTS. Then you get an actual verdict of who has the most fans and who has the least. In VTE a HM can have more fans than anyone else and still go.
